Tabriz Blue 135gsm
Tell us a little about your piece?
My piece is a jug or vase made of paper. On the other hand it reminds me of a woman's dress.
I created this work inspired by the name of the paper colour, Tabriz Blue. As you know, Tabriz is the name of the northwestern province of Iran.
I don't know if the name of the paper colour came from the place name or not, but I wanted to make something of a Persian style. It's a kind of a Persian style container made of paper. I thought that Tabriz Blue would be suitable for expressing the mysterious feeling of the Persian style.
​
What was the most challenging part of the brief?
It was not so difficult to make a paperwork, but it was harder to take pictures than I thought. It was not easy to find it's true colour. It was particularly hard to take a blue on blue picture. I don't know how many photos I took.
​
What part of the brief did you enjoy the most?
Using only one colour to create the work was so exciting. I like blue colour, but I usually tend not to use it frequently in my works. I fell in love with blue through this project. I enjoyed it a lot.
